Report
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors, as the code reviewing body under the Political Reform Act, both approve amendments to and revise, Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District (PSMCSD)'s Conflict of Interest Code.

DISCUSSION:
Amendments to local agency Conflict of Interest Codes are authorized by section 87306 of the Government Code whenever changes are required by changed circumstances, by creation or deletion of designated positions, or by changes in the duties of designated positions.
Under Government Code sections 82011 and 87303, the Board of Supervisors is the code reviewing body. It may approve the Code as submitted; revise the proposed code and approve it as revised; or return the proposed Code to the agency for revision and resubmission.
The Office of the County Counsel recommends that the Board revise the proposed Conflict of Interest Code of the Pajaro/Sunny Mesa Community Services District to add the following language:
